			<h2>WifiDB [0.16 Build 3]<br> Installation / Upgrade / Patch Notes</h2>
<table><tr><td><ol><font size="6">Install</font>
				<li> The install script <a class="links" href="index.php">Here</a> will install WiFiDB 0.16 Build 1 on your server.</li>
				<li> It is <i><b>NOT</b></i> recommended to run an install over the internet, it should only be run locally, after the install is successful delete the Install folder.</li>
				<li> You will need Root access or at least GRANT permissions on your MySQL server to install the WiFiDB.</li>
				<li> You will need GD2 to beable to use the Signal Graphing feature, if you do not have this you must <a class="links" title="Sample search for installing GD in PHP" target="_blank" href="http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=install+GD2+for+php&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f">install</a>/<a class="links" title="Sample search for enabling GD in PHP" target="_blank" href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=enable+GD2+for+php&btnG=Search">enable</a> it.</li>
				<li> From my development experiments (and wanting to know why it was taking so long to drop a db with 30k+ tables) I have seen MySQL (and PHP) run much much much faster on Linux then on Windows, for some time I was running my development and 'production' enviroments as windows only, I setup a very Modest system (PIII 450mhz w/ 768Mb of RAM, running FC9) and it was light speeds faster then the windows box (same hardware just server 2003).</li>
			</ol>
			<ol><font size="6">Upgrade</font>
				<li> The Upgrade script <a class="links" href="/Install/upgrade">Here</a> will upgrade the config file, and some tables in the database.</li>

				<li> As always, backup your data, before doing any work on it.</li>
